Ok. So, now that I have finally gotten into my blog after lots of time fighting with it, I will be able to share some Christmas cheer. Or, something of that sort.

I was reading an article on MSN.com about misheard Christmas carol lyrics. I was wondering what songs had been misheard for so many years. The article linked to Snopes.com. I looked and was highly entertained at what I found.

This is the website. You should check this out. It is entertaining!

With that said, Deck the Halls with Buddy Holly! Bells on Bob's tail ring, Making spareribs bright: What fun it is to write and sing a slaying song to knives! And don't forget the chipmunks roasting on an open fire!

Merry Christmas!

Stars Wars

My son is a big Star Wars fan. I ran across this story and thought it was entertaining. Therefore, I am sharing with you! It is crazy how much people will pay for things!

This story is from the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES - Luke Skywalker's light saber has been on Star Wars fans' Christmas lists for more than 30 years.

On Thursday, one fan spent $240,000 to get the real thing: the prop that Mark Hamill used in the first two movies in the original "Star Wars" trilogy.

The light saber highlighted several Hollywood memorabilia sold at an auction in Los Angeles by Profiles in History. The auction house said it sold about $3.5 million in memorabilia.

The droid helmet worn by Anthony Daniels to play C-3PO sold for $120,000, and the costume Marlon Brando wore in the "Superman" movie went for $72,000.
